Unpacking my bags

[needgrace]

Thanks, SS, and welcome back. I always feel much better when you are here, lighting the path for me. ((((((( )))))))

Tori, I don't know if that means you are not detaching... I experienced these dreams after some of the happiest days of my journey thus far...perhaps it is yet another layer of detachment arising for you to be worked through bc you are now able. I think our hearts can only handle so much at one and it all happens in stages.. i think i was in denial and shock for awhile and some of the dreams and feelings coming forth now are another part of the grieving and letting go..

busting, when i read about your dreams my thought was that busting is going to be okay, no matter what... with H or not. (((((( ))))))))

AS, thanks for the laugh. LOL.. I wonder if you tend to be a private person and if your sitch being so public makes you feel exposed... I know it has for me, that is why i interpret that way

I wanted to copy a fb post i saw today by tara brach's assistant that i liked:

Tara received a note from someone who said she felt "dead inside," alone, lacking the skills or capacity for intimacy, and imprisoned in a mindset that has never allowed for happiness.
We thought her response might resonate for others:

"No matter how dead on the inside it seems, there's a longing that is here that can be a portal to freedom.

Here's what I've found carries us home:

Sense what it is you really most deeply care about - yearn for. Pray for it from the most sincere depth of your being, and imagine what it would be like.

Listen for whatever might guide you to experiencing what your heart longs for. Be willing to release the old view of an imprisoned life, have the courage to open to something that's always been here, but has not been realized.

Sending blessings and prayers, Tara"
